Harboe Pilsner 4.4
A classic pilsner that is simply easy to drink: a friendly, round taste of pilsner malt, followed by a discreet bitterness from the hops. Harboe offers its pilsner in several versions, and this one belongs to the local assortment. It comes from Skælskør in West Zealand, where the Harboe family has brewed since 1883 and still helps run the company today.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Harboe Pilsner 4.4
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
